Which city turned against Alexander II because of the temple raid?

  • Tyre

  • Sidon

  • Ptolemais

  • Antioch

Answer

The city that turned against Alexander II as a result of the temple raid was Antioch, a major city in the Seleucid Empire. This raid, which involved the confiscation of treasures and artifacts from the city's temple, sparked outrage and resentment among the local population. The resentment eventually led to a revolt against Alexander II and his Seleucid rule, with Antioch serving as a focal point for the opposition.
